Abstract :
The paper describes an approach to support inferences about presented data within a graphical dialogue system. The approach is based on the usage of cognitive presentation forms which support the user to perceive the essentials of the presented data items. Thus, the user is enabled to draw inferences on the information content of these data. The advantages cognitive presentation forms are illustrated by sample presentation forms which are discussed in relation to traditional presentation forms
